Boot found at Everest could be from climber who vanished 100 years ago

George Mallory and Andrew Comyn Irvine were aiming to become the first men to reach the very top of Mount Everest. But, they were last seen on June 8, 1924, between 800 to 1,000 feet away from the 29,032-foot summit.

Swiss glacier melt exceeds average in 2024 after hot summer

Earlier this year, glaciologists had celebrated heavy winter and spring snow dumps in the Alps, hoping this would signal a halt to years of hefty declines or even a reversal of losses.

First map of vegetation across Antarctica reveals a battle for the continent’s changing landscape

Antarctica is in the grip of some of the world’s fastest climate change. Its melting ice could contribute up to 5 meters of sea-level rise.

After breaking free, world's largest iceberg is stuck spinning in circles

The iceberg is spinning near the South Orkney Islands, about 375 miles northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula, 'maintaining a chill 15 degree rotation per day,' the British Antarctic Survey, the United Kingdom's polar research institute, said on social media.

Andean glaciers shrink to their smallest size since Ice Age: Report

'We have pretty strong evidence that these glaciers are smaller now than they have been any time in the past 11,000 years,' Jeremy Shakun, a professor at Boston College and co-author of the report said.

Unmanned submarine finds strange shaped structures under Antarctic ice, disappears soon after

Scientists believe that these shapes were formed due to water flow that in turn are inspired by Earth's rotation but they way they do is also heavily influenced by shifting global temperatures.

From microbes to mammals: we tracked the rapid rise of new ecosystems as glaciers retreat and ice sheets melt

Glaciers and ice sheets have only a few species which can live on them, from ice worms to snow fleas and snow algae. When the ice melts, these species have to retreat with them.

Study examines how invasive species colonise new ground exposed by melting glaciers

Surveying glaciers on the island of South Georgia in the Atlantic Ocean, the researchers found that invasive species -- one of the main causes of the ongoing biodiversity crisis -- will likely spread as fast as the glaciers are retreating.

Diverse landscapes of South East Asian forests helped it survive 'Last Glacial Maximum'

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was a major climatic event in the Last Glacial Cycle (LGC) and in many areas was a time of significant landscape change. Studies cateogorise LGM as a complex interval characterised by different glacier behaviour across Europe.

Experts fear adverse effect on livelihoods as glaciers melting fast in J&K

'There are 18,000 glaciers in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, but all of them are melting. The glaciers are melting in the entire Himalaya including J&K. In the past couple of years, the melting of glaciers has increased,' said Earth scientist and glaciology expert Prof Shakil Romshoo.
